Bjarke Ingels Group two entries... the second with some architectural merit the other child's play.... i hope the sponsorship deal [with lego] come out of a national drive to promote danish design... my vote goes to their second scheme...

All I see are smooth renderings, which are made to 'sell' the project. I wonder how these buildings will/would look like in reality.

Oh goodness. I have a *ton* of photos from the lego show over at the Storefront for Arts and Architecture. That show was *great*! I'm glad other people got to see it also. :)

Those buildings look nice yet they are only "cold" renderings (as someone's already said: to "sell"). I can't see the real harmony with the environment and the human.
Love the LEGO tower ^^ it has the 'alive' sense and love its 'typography' yeah~~

nouvel... hadid... nouvel... hadid... nouvel. the shuffle can be endless but when do we start talking about ecology ?

Today the LPC is meeting hopefully to deny the transfer of air rights from St Thomas Church and the University Club which would allow the totally out of scale and context Nouvel Tower next to MoMA. It may be a building some like, but it does not belong on the midblock site. As designed, it is the same size if not taller than the Chrysler building. It belongs were it can be seen, near the West Side Highway or in New Jersey. It is pointless to inflict a 75+ story building in a Special PReservation subdistrict of low rise buildings and the community is fighting it. The Community board has voted twice to deny the transfer of air rights.

noga’z

great work ! but i couldnt but say ... do they really work in real life ??

lackofethics

I am extremely shocked that the clergy of an institution which proclaims the ‘gospel of grace,’ to sell its soul to such a travesty as this architectural proposal. What in the name of grace, the gospel, the Trinity, or a ministry to the downtrodden, can the church team up with greedy developers and put up an extremely perverse and phallic structure? St. Thomas, which is already so wealthy, is thinking in totally market terms, in which it is virtually selling its soul. As a member of the congregation, I am ex-tremely disappointed with how it is selling its soul — like Judas, for 30 pieces of silver, and Peter, who denied Christ — for lack of trust in the living and resurrected Christ? When will the church be aligned with the economics of Jesus, and truly house the poor — instead of always catering to the rich? The economics of the project are questionable — is that the only way to get ‘free maintenance for a church?’ Also, the architecture — is perverse and phallic. There are no ethics involved in this project, and it should behoove Christ’s teachings regarding ’selling’ one’s possessions to give to the poor vs. selling one’s air-rights to cater to the rich

YO

tja, skyscraperdesign remains to me the part of architecture with least interesting designs. The only one that's relevant in terms of architecture ironically for me is Dubai Renaissance by OMA - the one that is the least formalistic and the most about architecture.
